I know nothing bout this, but I applaud SCCA for finally trying some new things to get people involved.

You’re right for decades they seemed to go along with the idea that everyone just had to do it their way.

This is the first glimmer that not everyone who wants to race is born with a silver spoon.

In the early 1970’s I stumbled on Vintage sports car racing. Shocking that new cars, roll cages, and fender flares weren’t absolutely needed to race. Once the costly SCCA overhead was eliminated we could race our stone stock MGT series right off the street with a little more than a safety check and tape up our headlights. And this was honest wheel to wheel racing. Restricted only in that Gentlemen (and the occasional Lady) simply do not dent another’s car or put another at risk. Simply the right crowd and no crowding.
